PhaZer are a fresh new four-piece rock band formed in 2004 in the suburbs of Lisbon, Portugal, and play a melodic sort of rock full of confidence and oomph. Their style combines melody with harmonizing vocals - with some strong guitars and even a bit of funk and flamenco influence are in there as well.

The EP kicks things off with the very catchy "Way Downtown" showing off splendidly the groovy aspects of their music and also the harmonizing vocals makes this song stick in your head. Each track on the EP is different in some way showing off the different sides and influences of this band - "Revelations" has a more of a funk touch blending into the rock and maybe reminding me in parts of bands such as Faith No More. "Benediction" sounds much harder then anything else on this CD with very low sounding guitars and again having a good rhythm and groove to it as well as being rather catchy at the same time, the song actually sounds a little reminiscent of the American band Soil of a few years ago. Also the nice acoustic "Lament To The World" and outro track "We're All Silent Witnesses" show the extent of their musical influence spectrum with flamenco touches finding their ways in there.
